I-IIGI-I SCHOOL M45 fly There is one of two paths which one can fol- low-the right path or the wrong one. This not only pertains to the high school gradu- ates, but to the undergraduates as well. The one path leads to success: success in business, social life, and righteous living. The other is the path of the unsuccessful. The failures are those who are content to drift along with no goal or desire for better living. Each individual has the right to choose CWOZSISIWOOL 5 which road he will take. lt matters not what his environment may be. If it be a lowly one, he has the privilege of rising above his sur- roundings and living an honorable life. On the other hand, if he so desires, he may be- come a worthless drifter, a detriment to his community and country. Now is the time to choose which path you will take. Take the right pathg set your goal high, then strive diligently to reach that goal. Richard Payne Donald Gibbs QQACUL lfLOlfL For the first time in the history of our school two mem- bers have ieft during their senior year to take an active part in the defense of their country. To these two members, Richard Payne and Donald Gibbs, and to all other graduates who are serving and will serve in the armed forces, we Wish to dedicate this book. r ,.,,, K , X ,,1, . 1 -, 1- -1 '1 - ' I ': i Zijfwgg ,,!g6!lf1fLLlfLL5fl 6LfL0lfL ff 0:55586 . .. ,X - -y ' I .3 Jdfliffcd . .. .n l ' i f f ' 'I Lia mill., Qf jcfzuztzej . . . lifilfv, -- 4 ,fgc!nfLi1fLi5Ifr0Lfi0n One of the most important things in CI stu- dent's lite is the valuable knowledge given to him by his teachers and the services ren- dered by the ordinance men. Mr. Broyles has been the chief executive of our school for the last two years. During his two years at Liberty he has made many improvements in the administration and has made school life more enjoyable. He not on- ly acts as advisor but also is a friend of all the students. Besides being superintendent and coach, he teaches American Problems and First Aid. Mr. Broyles received his AB. Degree at Rio Grande College and his M.A. Degree at Mi- ami University. QOVQQ . EO? 8:5 MCAGLIWGZ Mr. Oswald is serving his first year at Liberty as principal of the high school. During his first year he has done much to make the school a well-managed organization.

Their places were filled by the following new mem- bers: Donald Gibbs, Grace Sterrett, and lohn Wittenmyer. Our total enrollment was 35.

Mrs. Wilson, Sponsor enior aw We, the Senior Class of Liberty Township High School, in this year of l945, desire to will the following characteristics, oddities and distinguishing traits, to whomever they may concern. ARTICLE I To Mrs. Wilson, our sponsor, we will an- other class that can get into as much trouble as we did. ARTICLE II To the Iunior Class, we leave our ability to rule the underclassmen. May you have better success than we did. ARTICLE III To the Sophomore Class we will our bril- liant ideas. We hope they get you farther than they got us. ARTICLE IV To the Freshman Class, we will our ability to get along with the teachers. You kids cer- tainly need it. ARTICLE V Don Gibbs bequeaths his manly stature in a sailor suit to Paul Pepple. Don't rock the boat, Peppy. To Kathryn Benson, Dorothy Knepper wills her way of getting kicked out of classes. To who may find them, lames West wills the fenders and batteries he occasionally loses from his car. Sara Hartman, wills her ways of getting along with sailors to Betty Hanna. Take it easy, Betty! To Martha Altman, Pat Benroth wills her towering strength. Put it to good use Martha! But not on E. E.! Ieanne Wittenmyer wills her way with the Blanchard boys to lean Wilson. To Pat Wagner, Betty Riegle wills her quiet ways. Bill Bell wills the loneliness he will feel next year to Doris Bunn. Wonder why? To whomever may want a job, Dorothy Mowrey wills her position at Kresge's. Pat Sink wills her beloved and gratifying nickname of Stinky to lanis Watkins. Use it often Kenny. lune Way bequeaths her boyfriends in the service to lune Price. Keep them happy June. Dick Payne wills his wolf howl to anyone who needs one. The Smith twins will their identical ways to Agnes Laibe and Lois Wilson. May you al- ways get along well apart. To whoever does not have a boy friend Dolores Orwick wills one of her handsome fellows. Take good care of him, Dolores might miss him. Since Margie Mullins has so many extra pounds, she wishes to will her extra 200 to Norma Wyler. Ch, you kid! Ruby Rettig wills her position as Editor of the school newspaper to anyone capable of filling the job. Dick Zeisloft wills his way to get good gum from the McComb City Market to Dean Riegle. Good chewing, Dean. To anyone who can make change as inac- curately as she can, Helen Powell wills her job as cashier in the cafeteria. ln testimony whereof, we hereunto set our hand and seal, and declare this to be our Last Will and Testament, this eighteenth day of May, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and forty-five. Signed by the attorney Richard Zeisloft Witnesses thereof l. Patricia Sink 2. Mary Fox amor amd Mojo ec It was in the summer of l96U when I started on my trip through the United States in my magnificent automobile. I had always been interested in the habits of the Kentuckian people so that was my first destination. While traveling I noticed a small red school house sitting on the edge of a hill. Then I noticed a large circle of students under a tree. There in the center of the circle was Iune Way teaching her students to play Drop the Handkerchief. Who Could imag- ine Iune teaching school! From there I drove to New York City. I had heard that Dorothy Knepper was singing at the Metropolitan Opera House so I visited it my first night in New York. As I approach- ed the steps of the Opera House I could hear her singing her own version of Carmen. Although the people were crowding around to get her autograph, Dorothy managed to talk with me for a few minutes. lust as I was leaving, I saw Carolyn Smith who was a famous New York debutante. The next day I was walking through the business section of the city when I noticed quite a large group of plump women going into a beautiful building. It was then that I read the sign over the door which read BEN- ROTH'S REDUCING DIETS. I'm sure you'll all agree that Pat would never have thought of diets back in her high school days. A short distance down the street I noticed the sign MARGIE'S BEAUTY SHOP. I needed a manicure, so I entered the shop and was amazed to find Margie Mullins as the proprietor. Since I had nothing to do the next after- noon, I decided to spend my time at a stage show in which my old friend, Betty Riegle, was the star ballet dancer. After the inter- mission the audience was astounded when the red-haired orchestra leader left his posi- tion in the orchestra pit to dance a special number with Betty. Although his red, waist- length hair deceived me for an instant, I fin- ally recognized him to be none other than Donald Gibbs, ex-navy admiral. After a few days I resumed my trip this time going west. In Rochester, Minnesota, I learned that since the Mayo Brothers were becoming quite old, they had turned their clinic over to lim West as chief surgeon with Evelyn Smith as his assistant. My next important stop was at Phoenix, Arizona. While I was walking down the main street, I heard the melodious strains of Rum and Coca Cola coming from cne of the tenement house windows. Curiously I looked inside and there were Ruby and Rich- ard Payne teaching their nine little Rubinoffs to play the violin. Not wanting to intrude, l left without disturbing them. As I proceeded farther west, I came to Bev- erly Hills, California. While window shop- ping I came to a very exclusive hat shop. Seeing one I particularly liked, I went inside and there saw my good friend, leanne Wit- tenmyer. At the time she was very busily engaged in designing hats. As we were talk- ing over our school days, she told me that Pat Sink and Sara Hartman were living in Beverly Hills. Since I had some free time, I drove out to their lovely estate to find them thoroughly enjoying life as old maids. At San Francisco I met Bill Bell who was the head of an F.B.I. Investigating Committee with the assistance of Dorothy Mowrey, his private secretary. On my way back to my home state I stop- ped in St. Louis for an announcement party Qiven by Dolores Orwick who was announc- ing her forth-coming marriage to a once fam- ous movie star, who had been her idol back in '45. My last stop before I reached home was at the great metropolis of Benton Ridge where I saw Richard Zeisloft, Chief Petty Officer Re- cruit man for the Coast Guards. I felt my trip was very worthwhile because I had seen all my former classmates busy in their life work. -Helen Powell I 7 QlfLiOlf' nafw l. Seniors rah! 2. Going steady? 3.

Our enroll- ment was small, consisting of only l7 mem- bers, seven girls and ten boys. From this number we chose Raymond Bateson as our Pres., Myron Bunn, Vice-Pres., lean Wilson, Sec., and Doris Bunn, Treas. Our Booster Board representatives were Mable Briggs and Bob Litzenberg. Mrs. Pfost Was appointed as our sponsor. Early in the year We were sorry to lose two of our members, Buth Doll and Lasley Wilkin- son. t IUNIOR OFFICERS LEFT TO BTGHT: Mrs. Ptost, sponsor, Raymond Bateson, Pres., Doris Bunn, Treasg lean Wilson, Sec.

We played hostess to the Seniors at the annual lunior-Senior Banquet which was held May 3 at the Y. M. C. A. This ended our social events for the year.

Our sec- retary and treasurer was Agnes Laibe. The Booster Board members were Iune Price and Rex McCartney. Our total enrollment was 26. The upperclassmen usually think they have the outstanding abilities in their midst, but the Sophomores have two boys, Kenneth Cramer and Rex McCartney, who have been lettermen on both the basketball and football teams in their two years ct high school. Even the best of teams like to have some- one cheering tor them and Pat Wagner has shown her enthusiasm as cheerleader dur- ing her Freshman and Sophomore years. In November Lorell Wilkinson left us. Rob- ert Buckmaster came from Van Buren and Delores Core moved to Liberty Twp. from Pandora. As we go on through high school our hope is that We may learn to be good citizens and be examples to underclassmen.

And to say it succeeded is expressing it mildly. Mr. Baldwin and his neighbor, Ed Saunders, liked to play the horses and occassionally slipped away from home and went to the tracks, telling their families they were visiting distant relatives not nice enough to bring home. Ed invented a Parisian cousin Felix and Archie an Aunt Nellie. Sheila wanted to marry lerry Parkham, an impecunious young actor in the local summer theater. Her father forbade it before he hurried off to see Aunt Nellie ee really a trip to the horse races. lerry was ordered out of the house but not before he overheard Archie's plans, learning the truth about all the relatives. So he conceived the idea of pretending to be the vulgar Aunt Nellie and came to pay a visit While Archie was away. Nellie caused quite a bit of consternation when she told the family about Archie's father being an embez- zler. Finally lerry got so involved that he had to impersonate Felix. All difficulties were fin- ally solved which made everybody happy. l!LVLiOlf' KKULZS5 fgfay Ted Bronson, the son ....,.. lane Bronson, the daughter. . . Tom Bandall, a college boy ....
